Bearing Wide 5 Outer

The Bearing Wide 5 Outer from Allstar Performance is a precision wheel bearing engineered for classic and custom hot rods, race cars, and vintage muscle vehicles equipped with Wide 5 lug pattern hubs. Whether you're restoring a legendary drag car, building a street rod, or maintaining a circle-track competitor, this outer bearing is a critical component that supports radial and thrust loads while maintaining smooth wheel rotation. Wide 5 hubs remain popular in vintage racing and custom fabrication circles, making quality bearing replacement essential for safety and performance.

Constructed from hardened steel, the Bearing Wide 5 Outer delivers the durability and load-bearing capacity demanded by high-performance driving. This outer race design works in conjunction with inner bearing races and bearing cones to manage both radial and axial loads transmitted through the wheel hub assembly. The steel construction resists deformation under cornering forces and braking stress, critical factors when running aggressive suspension geometry or increased tire widths common in custom vehicles. Proper bearing preload and lubrication with quality chassis grease ensure longevity and consistent wheel alignment throughout the vehicle's service life.

Mechanics, restorers, and fabricators choose this Allstar Performance bearing for Wide 5 hub conversions and maintenance on classic hot rods, circle-track racers, and vintage performance cars. Proper installation requires careful bearing adjustment to eliminate end play while avoiding preload that generates excessive friction and heat. Installation should include new seals, thorough cleaning of the hub cavity, and fresh high-quality bearing grease rated for the vehicle's intended service—whether street driving, drag racing, or road course competition. Each bearing is sold individually; verify your hub configuration and obtain matching inner and outer bearing sets for complete brake assembly service.
